Woman attacked driver that hit, killed chicken that was crossing the road, per police
-
The way this kind of animal murder is normalized for drivers is beyond disturbing. Imagine a cyclist who came upon some birds blocking the cycle path, pulled out a pocket knife, and started stabbing them so they could get through 20 seconds faster.
It's the same psychopathic "might makes right" mentality that makes people turn a blind eye to the needless, systemic, unfathomable horrors of animal agriculture.
We dont know the whole story. The second driver might not have seen the chicken until it was too late. Nothing in the story indicates that the second driver purposely hit the chicken, but bear mace in an enclosed environment is no joke and can lead to permanent damage. Nothing about this story is "right".

i cannot put into words how much i despise people who don't see anything wrong with crushing animals with their car, it's so fucking gross and IMO should disqualify them from handling a heavy vehicle.
It's no different than shooting animals with a gun (proper or airsoft or whatever), which i think any sensible person would agree should bar you from owning guns.

Yesterday while driving, I hit two different birds in the span of about 15 minutes. I was going under the limit both times and definitely wouldn’t try to hit them. The second one looked like it was going to miss me before it turned and went straight at the windshield. Real tucker and dale moment for me.

Now we'll never know why it was crossing the road...
wrote last edited by [email protected]Someone once explained that "to get to the other side" actually has a double meaning, with "other side" referring to being killed by a car (in addition to the obvious meaning of the other side of the road).
Dunno if that was ever the actual intention, but it instantly became my new head canon, and I think about it every time I hear the joke now.
So it actually kind of fits here.

It wasn't your fault. You would have avoided it if you were able. Therefore it is not on your moral plate. Be at peace.
Thank you kind stranger.

Vegetarians got crazier and crazier these days
Yeah? Is your family proud of you? Or are you a secretly a loser like you reveal with this very response?

wrote last edited by [email protected]Not sure I agree with the second take. Anyone that eats meat should be ethically required to take an animals life they will eat at some point so they directly know what it means to eat meat. If someone is uncomfortable with the thought of taking an animals life, why are they eating meat and paying someone else to do their dirty work?
I eat meat, but probably not as much as most people. I have butchered livestock and hunted in the past, taking an animals life is not a pleasant thing to do.

Am I allowed to steal "lol and behold"? I want this to become a thing.
By all means, please capitalize on my typo. It's got a nice ring to it.

I think there's quite a big difference between senselessly running over an animal and shooting one with a gun. I mean hunting for food and animal population control are kinda necessary in a lot of situations, while running over an animal isn't.

It took me coming to the comments to notice that the word in the headline was chicken, not children. I was about to go OFF about those cops.

Sometimes, animals just don't understand how cars works. I was going to work one morning, and a jackrabbit was in my lane...it ran away, but in a way that would ensure it would get crushed if I sped up. It was only after about quarter of an mile that it decided to leave my lane...only to u-turn back into it.
THUMP
Sometimes, life is fleeting, without reason.

The chicken didn't cross the road, but still made it to the other side.

hunting for food
Go to Wendy's
animal population control
Bring back the native big cats
There. Problem solved.

I have butchered livestock
I'm sorry you had to do that. It sounds traumatic.
Animals, especially mammals, have complex inner lives, families, and friends. They experience emotion. They play.
I don't understand how people can look at that and be ok with killing it, and then not think the same thing about the stupider parts of humanity.
I guess people are just less delicious or something. No idea how else it's justified.

yeah i kinda obviously wasn't talking about hunting, but just shooting a possum or whatever because you think it's fun

Not exactly traumatic, but certainly not pleasant to look into somethings eyes and take it's life. A lot of men pretend it's a fun experience to be macho, but I think most people do not enjoy taking an animals life.

Ok, that wins best chicken crossing the road joke ever.

You would prefer that animals are raised in horrendous conditions without ever seeing sunlight only to be slaughtered over shooting an animal that has grown up in it's natural habitat?
Like, vegetarians I can get, because they argue that we shouldn't be eating meat at all. Arguing that industrial farming is better for animal welfare than hunting is just absurd though.

I'm sorry, but what?!
Do you know of people that intentionally kill animals with their cars? I've never once hard of this. That's serial killer shit.
No, 99.99% of roadkill is accidental.
